Hope this question is not out of the place...
I've recently finished creating a fashion store for friends (in Wordpress). SEO, great design, responsive and everything.
But its been 3 months and the store is not selling. Wondered if there's people here who can give some tips about why and how can I help them fix this.
Thanks!!

The first thing i noticed is you have no social links as Connor Hamilton said.
So open an account on:
Facebook Twitter Instagram
Then check out these trainings offered by teamtreehouse:

But I'm looking for more business type tips =)

Do the same thing with Facebook. Provide some interesting non-self promotional content. Get your followers to engage with you.
On Instagram: post pictures of the clothes in use in real life - not just professional photos of models. Ditch the unrelated hashtags, you might get more views, but they aren't likely to convert to sales - it's spammy and makes the company look unprofessional and untrustworthy.
Finally, reach out to popular fashion bloggers, vloggers and intagrammers. Buy an ad, sponsor a post, give them free stuff to promote you, and offer their readers/followers a decent discount.

There's probably nothing wrong with the product but word of mouth has not been spread enough. Send friends discount codes for 5% off clothing or tweet the code to followers.
Its hard work and you just need to keep pushing and pushing, no one will come if no one knows it exists.
